My Tuesday…

I went to bed at 1:00AM and woke to the alarm at 7:00AM. I really did not want to leave the house, but had to take Alex to the bus stop. I came back and curled up in bed until 9:00AM. I still did not want to come alive, but got moving slowly. I am not a morning person. I do not think I ever will be. Mornings and I don’t speak to each other, I can not tolerate it.

A little before 10:00AM Mom and I left for my 11:00AM appointment with my counselor. We got there twenty-five minutes early. I waited impatiently during the intervening time. When Mom is with me I usually do not read, but there was not a lot to talk about either.

My counselor and I had a really good session. She helped clarify my thinking on several points. We discussed feelings more and she gave me homework again.

Mother’s leather coat tore today, so she wanted to go to SAM’s to look for one. We dropped by her primary care physician’s office to pick up samples and the orders for her test. The office was closed so we went to SAM’s. She did not find any coats as I had told her all of them were gone because they have spring and summer clothes out. I wound up buying some stuff. Batteries for my insatiable mouse, blank books to collect, socks for my footsies, and a 3 Doors Down CD for Alex.

We went to pick up the pizzas I had called in from my appointment. Stopped back by the doctor’s office and picked up the meds and orders. Mom decided she wanted to go to Ross. Now this was something I really should have avoided, but she whined… I found sunglasses on the way to the back of the store and said I had to have those. Calvin Klein’s similar to my Gargoyles that got broken a year ago, $95.00 glasses for $16.00, a must. Then the clearance aisle attacked me. All kinds of things jumped into the buggy. I had to go back to the front of the store for a second cart because both her stuff and mine would not fit in one. I am hopeless, money just disappears for me. I really need help. I think other than the sunglasses that I needed nothing I bought. Stores are too dangerous. I will hate myself later this week.

We came home and I called the hospital to make Mom’s appointment for her test. No one but me can use the phone to make appointments. I unpacked all my stuff. I have yet to find a place for all of it. This room is like a small specialty shop. I should go on EBAY and sell some stuff, but I have not figured out how to manage that. Too, I like my stuff.

We all had pizza for supper, so I did not have to cook tonight. YAY!

I logged on the computer and visited lots of blogs. Interesting posts out there today. I fixed two weeks of medication for Mom.

So now I am posting this. It has been quite a day. MSN crashed on me twice this evening, but that is better than sometimes.

TTYL,
